Military PCS (Permanent Change of Station) at Kirtland AFB is one of NMLP's most common donor scenarios. Active-duty enlisted families especially feel the HHG weight allowance pressure — books are heavy and a bookshelf can blow several hundred pounds of allowance.
NMLP handles military PCS book pickups:
- On-base or off-base — NMLP picks up at base housing, off-base rentals across the metro, and storage units.
- No rank questions, no DoD ID checks — NMLP doesn't need anything from you beyond an address and time window.
- or if your shipping date is tight — call and explain the timeline; NMLP works around PCS pressure regularly.
- Spouse-coordinated pickups while service member is TDY — common; NMLP works directly with the at-home spouse.
- Storage unit cleanouts — when sponsorship comes back from a deployment and the household is downsizing the books that didn't get unpacked.
Drop-off alternative: 5445 Edith Blvd NE, Unit A — about 10 minutes from Kirtland AFB main gate, accessible 24/7 via outdoor donation box.
